Merry Christmas.

It has been a year filled with ups and downs. Tears and Joy, but we are still here to celebrate another Christmas with loved ones. We prefer to look at the glass half full, we are blessed. We have power, many are without this season due to many reasons, including this current winter storm. We send love to those who live far away, sending good wishes and cheer to each and everyone. It is not what is under the Christmas tree, but what is in our hearts that are important. Living in harmony, peace and love.

This was what it looked like when we woke up friday morning, blowing snow and cold weather. The windchill was -30C at one stage during the day, not friendly at all. The snowplow came by after ten last night and with the windgusts of 79km per hour, he had a hard time to stop when he came down the hill. Clearing blowing snow on top of the frozen road surface. We choose to stay indoors and warm. One neighbour went out twice yesterday, in howling conditions to shovel blowing snow in the middle of a blizzard? Missed the memo about this crazy storm?

Baking happened, some rusks and ginger cookies(the tins was almost empty on thursday).

Some savoury mini quiche some with meat and others with veggies.

Hubby loves these oat and chocolate biscuits, they never last long.

The Jeopardy quilting has started up again, this bit was done earlier this week. The other sewing involve some gifts, so will only place them on the blog after they have been gifted. So today it will be a bit of sewing, as it has become a tradition for us dinner tonight will be salad with Boerewors rolls, traditional sausage from South Africa on Portugese rolls. We merge the best of traditions together to create new ones when we moved to Canada, not living in the past but in the present. Wishing each and every person a very Merry Christmas!
